Knowing Tracie ............................
I think she is having the last laugh - were you winding up the Group or you genuinely did not know PRN!!
Look at the interesting debate you have stimulated!!!!

Hi Bob

I did do more recent training than your self but did the old course before Project 2000 came in - 14 yrs ago. I had a debate with a colleague and I am please to say that I was right.

Many thank to all for your responses, jsut needed to clarify exactly what PRN stood for.

Hi Tracey,

You are obviously from a recent nursing generation of RN's.

Those of us who trained as SRN's had to learn all the prescribing
abbreviations.  PRN is abbreviated Latin for: pro re nata (as the situation
demands; as needed).

Regards, Bob
